I just noticed RNC Chair Michael Steele just challenged AARP to endorse his ‘Senior’s Health Care Bill of Rights” which purportedly outlaws death panels and similar such things. And John Rother replied saying AARP too agrees there should be no death panels and is glad no one has actually proposed having any.

But with Steele now on the ramparts defending Medicare, we thought it might be a good time to review Steele’s and the GOP’s forty year history of trying to cut or outright abolish Medicare.
